{"product_id":"the-air-force-and-the-max-rosenberg-9781780399973","title":"The Air Force and the National Guided Missile Program 1944-1950","description":"This recently declassified 1965 monograph covers generally the so-called national guided missile program that slowly evolved between the closing months of World War II and the beginning of the Korean War. More particularly, the monograph treats the interplay among the numerous national security agencies as it concerned guided missiles. The guided missile was among the first weapon systems to be subjected to the disadvantages as well as the advantages of constant scrutiny and intervention at the interservice level. Moreover, this condition was aggravated no little by the interest, but not the forceful leadership, of a number of joint and other national security agencies a niche or more above the level of the services. In a sense, then, the guided missile became the \"guinea pig\" from which grew the paradoxical situation of both a centralization and proliferation of authority and responsibility over weapon development and use.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Max Rosenberg,Usaf Historical Division Liason Office\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1780399979\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781780399973\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Military Bookshop\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/12\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 210\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.69h x 7.44w x 0.44d","brand":"Max Rosenberg","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48437039399167,"sku":"9781780399973","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2cf45c2d-ec97-4ef8-927c-5679d93fb7a4.jpg?v=1777159450","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-air-force-and-the-max-rosenberg-9781780399973","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
